Add a coordinate-free regularizer that prevents a batch of unit-normalized embeddings from concentrating almost entirely on one side of a hyperplane passing through their spherical centroid. Sample random directions tangent to the estimated centroid, measure the soft fraction of embeddings in each corresponding hemisphere, and penalize fractions below the spherical Grünbaum constant. This targets directional mode collapse while preserving rotational invariance.

Replace Euclidean Mixup with interpolation in a learned anisotropic embedding metric. Use the paper's distortion coefficient to weight the endpoints and add a consistency term requiring the model's interpolated prediction to respect the geometry-dependent mass allocation.

Use the calibrated compact-support maximum-entropy law as a latent prior or representation regularizer in a VAE or autoencoder. Unlike a Gaussian prior, it prevents latent codes from drifting arbitrarily far while retaining explicitly controlled mean and covariance.

Estimate the spatial distribution of minibatch embeddings using normalized residuals, then use the resulting spatial depth as a bounded confidence weight on each example's loss. Examples whose embeddings are spatially central receive near-unit weight, while isolated or adversarial examples are automatically downweighted without estimating covariance matrices or choosing a dimension-dependent bandwidth.

Add a local curvature penalty to graph learning or GNN training that penalizes sampled node signals with negative discrete Bakry–Émery curvature. The regularizer targets graph bottlenecks and irregular diffusion geometry, and can be applied either to a learned adjacency matrix or to the task-relevant hidden representations propagated by a fixed graph.

Build a linear state-space or recurrent layer in a learned pseudo-unitary coordinate frame $\Theta(t)$, and penalize the covariant coefficient $P_{m,\Theta}$ instead of penalizing $\Theta'(t)$ or transition-matrix norms directly. The regularizer is sensitive to meaningful variation of the represented Hamiltonian but is invariant to redundant gauge representations, potentially reducing unstable latent modes without forcing every parameter matrix to be small.

Represent the sequence of hidden states through a residual or state-space network as a polygonal curve and penalize turns according to their signed moment arm relative to the curve's input and output states. This targets bends that most strongly reduce endpoint separation, rather than applying an unweighted total-curvature penalty. The expected benefit is better long-range signal transport and less folding of hidden trajectories at comparable parameter count.

Regularize a scalar feature field on a 2D grid by interpreting each feature value as the uniformizing variable of a hyperbolic ring and penalizing violations of local orthogonal-ring angle closure. Unlike a raw Laplacian penalty, this constrains the representation through positive hyperbolic radii and geometrically meaningful edge compatibility.

Replace a locally oriented three-channel feature frame by its positive-definite polar factor, removing arbitrary SO(3) basis rotations before the feature enters an MLP, attention block, or graph message-passing layer. Process the resulting SPD matrix in log coordinates so the downstream network receives a globally unconstrained symmetric representation rather than a gauge-dependent frame.

Maintain a small population of neural-network parameter replicas and interleave ordinary gradient steps with Boltzmann/Kac-style binary collisions. Each collision preserves the pair's mean parameter vector and relative-distance norm while randomly rotating the relative direction, with collision frequency proportional to a regularized negative power of replica distance.

Construct a recurrent or state-space block with two learned transition matrices A and B representing two commuting update directions. Besides penalizing noncommutation and deviation from isometry, penalize the negative spectrum of the paper's core operator H(A,B), encouraging a structured overlap of one-step and two-step ranges. Compare this against an orthogonal-RNN baseline and against commutation-only regularization on long-horizon sequence tasks.

Replace an unconstrained linear map on matrix-valued features by an exact operator-norm isometry assembled from parallel copies of X and its transpose. Contractive compression matrices and unitary basis changes allow a wider family than ordinary orthogonal layers, while a contractive remainder can increase output width without increasing the layer's spectral norm.

Build a graph diffusion or neural-operator encoder whose sparse-observation loss is weighted according to graph distance from the observed nodes. For early diffusion times, suppress supervision or cross-attention demands that are geometrically impossible because signals at distance \(d\) are attenuated like \(e^{-d^2/(2t)}\); gradually release those constraints as diffusion time grows.

Regularize a learned set of vectors by maximizing the log-determinant of its frame operator, thereby maximizing the paper's sharp determinant-based upper bound on the volume of the centrally symmetric polytope generated by those vectors. The penalty encourages the vectors to span representation space isotropically and provides a global alternative to pairwise orthogonality losses.
